Given the fact that the result from the WEF in Davos have shown that after the years of progress, fight for gender equality is stagnating. Men’s dominance in IT and biotech sectors is reversing trend towards equality, initiatives like this have even more importance.

We need to be especially worried with the fact that 57% of the jobs set to be displaced by AI technology and robots between now and 2026 belong to women. According to Saadia Zahidi, we are looking at a worsening of inequality, not only in IT sector but across all sectors as well. Therefore, support for the women of this industry needs to be marked as a high priority issue.
